'17 GA DE Michael Allen (Wake Forest commit)

[BruinVol]

Isn't Webb high on our board with interest?

Yes that has been reported

 

[BigOrangeD]

Next year we will have Kongbo, Phillips, Butcher, Taylor, and Smith. Two of them will be upper classmen.

We currently have Lawson committed and the potential of Bumphus moving from TE. Bembry will likely fall into that hybrid role. We still need DEs.

I'm pretty confident Bumphus is DE all the way. IMO, we're set at DE for next year but if we can add a Stud DE, I'm sure we will.

I think Butler has jumped this kid on the board.

Staff sees Butler growing into a DT

Bituli could move to DE as well. Taylor was very similar in build when arrived on campus.

Just judging from the pics we've seen of Bituli this week, I think he looks a lot leaner than Smith did coming in though. Smith was our second biggest backer the minute he set foot on campus (behind Maggit).

A little surprising. Seems like a take

And so it begins.

Picks at noon between Tn and Wake Forrest

Wake

Wake

Yep. No mention of him on the end of summer rivals big board

Yup. I don't think we are taking another DE unless it's a big time target.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Wake

I agree. Doesn't look to be a take. Kind of like Brandon Gaddy having Clemson in it, we are just a hat on the table for Allen.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Did he commit yet

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Did he commit yet

Yes he committed to Wake a few hours ago.

 

[Glitch]

Why weren't we told!!!

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Idk! He wasn't a take though.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Wow. Can't believe Wake Forest beat Butch for this kid. Butch really is getting destroyed this year in recruiting.

--Lebside-Crunch, probably

While he would fit right in with this class, I'd have passed.

 

[drvenner]

I can't even see what he responded. Now, that's refreshing!!

I feel the same. We are limited now on who we can take. We have to remember that guys. We're at 23 commits on scholarship with a few walk-ons to boot. We can't just take any recruit for the 2017 class from here on out.

We hopefully can get at least one 5* & another 4*. That's probably the best we're looking at now. Definitely No 3* recruits unless it absolutely comes down to it at the very end.

He's got an impressive offer list

Yes, he does have an impressive offer lists but read my post right above yours. That's the reason we must be careful picking/taking in players now for 2017.
